Any ideas I can pass along to her???

I don't have a recipe for you... but, I would think that some of the cake recipes for Passover would fit the bill - if she can have eggs. They are essentially potato starch and lots of eggs - sort of like a sponge cake.

You might do a search on this forum for Passover foods, and also do a Google search because I'm sure there are plenty of recipies out there.

Of course, others on the forum will have a recipe or two for you, I'm sure.

Here's a recipe that is great.

1 Cup Garfava flour

1/2 Cup Potato starch

1/4 Cup Tapioca starch

1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum

2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 Cup granulated sugar

1/2 Cup Spectrum brand Canola Oil spread or 1/3 Cup cooking oil

2 teasoon gluten-free vanilla

1/2 cup silken tofu

grated lemon peel of 1 lemon

1/2 cup boiling water

cooking spray

Oven at 350. lightly coat 11X17 pan with cooking spray. Sift together flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt. Set aside.

In food processor cream sugar, butter (or oil if using) vanilla, tofu, lemon peel. Process on hihg till smooth. Add boiling water and process on hihg again till mixed completely. scrape sides down if needed. Spoon batter into pans and bake 25-30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before frosting.

If you want sugarless cake, substitute 2/3 cup honey or pure maple syrup and reduce boiling water to 1/3 Cup. Reduce heat to 325.

ENJOY!!!

Yellow Cake

Namaste cake mixes are incredible and they do not contain any gluten, wheat, corn, soy, dairy, nuts, casein or potato.

I love the chocolate cake mix.

Echoing Artgirl....the label of my Potato Starch has this recipe. IF she can have eggs it actually sounds really yummy.

Just an FYI....I was severely reacting to corn at one point and just wanted to share this info.
